At last.
Dongfang Jing's gaze fell on the two girls on the stage who were still unconvinced.
He walked onto the dilapidated Soul Battle Platform and found that Wang Qiu'er seemed to be somewhat depressed because she hadn't been able to determine a winner with Dongfang Yao.
Dongfang Yao's condition was much the same.
But she seemed more dissatisfied with her own performance just now.
Dongfang Jing sighed helplessly and decided to try to persuade the two girls who were getting stuck on their own ideas.
"Qiu'er, if you two continue fighting, who do you think will win?"
"Me," Wang Qiu'er replied without hesitation, her words filled with absolute confidence in her abilities.
However, Dongfang Jing rejected her.
"No, you have an 80% chance of losing."
"Impossible!" Wang Qiu'er naturally didn't believe it, her beautiful eyes fixed on Dongfang Jing. "Give me a reason."
Dongfang Jing raised an eyebrow and extended his index finger, gently poking Wang Qiu'er's flat and soft abdomen.
"!"
Itchy, Wang Qiu'er's heart skipped a beat, and she froze.
She instinctively covered the spot where she had been poked, and asked nervously, "What...what are you doing?"
Dongfang Jing withdrew his hand and spread his hands: "The mark, the mark, Yao'er's second soul skill."
"Just one more hit, and the mark will be stacked to five layers. If I'm not mistaken, after stacking five layers, there will be an explosion-like damage effect. Yao'er, am I right?"
He turned to look at his sister.
Dongfang Yao nodded and explained, "Yes, once five layers are stacked, a Starburst will be triggered immediately, dealing true damage equivalent to 10% of my own attack power."
"Did you hear that?" Dongfang Jing looked at Wang Qiu'er again. "It's another instance of true damage. Qiu'er, no matter how strong your body is, can you withstand true damage?"
"Yao'er's second and fourth soul skills are both related to true damage."
"Is your third soul skill the same?"
Dongfang Yao nodded again: "More or less. My third soul skill is called Starry Sky Rift Slash. When activated, it increases my speed by 50%, the base damage of this slash will also increase by 300%, and it can ignore 20% of physical defense."
Dongfang Jing clicked his tongue in amazement after hearing this.
He looked at Wang Qiu'er again and asked, "Did you hear that?"
"I…" Wang Qiu'er was completely speechless.
Indeed, what she was most proud of was her incomparably powerful golden dragon body, which could be described as absolute defense.
However, Dongfang Yao's Star Sword Martial Soul has almost all true damage effects, which is indeed very effective against her.
Thinking about it this way, if the fight continues, with my soul power suppressed and my soul skills restricted, I might really lose.
Seeing that she had figured it out, Dongfang Jing walked over to Dongfang Yao and reached out to ruffle her sister's soft hair as usual.
He smiled and praised, "Yao'er performed very well. Not only did she respond to each move calmly and flexibly, but she also provoked her opponent with words, forcing her to take the initiative to attack. This way, you can accumulate marks more quickly."
"You're already doing great, so why do you still look unhappy?"
Dongfang Yao was indeed being a bit stubborn just now.
But now that her brother had patted her head and praised her in front of so many people, the girl was overjoyed.
She chuckled to herself, and her earlier slight annoyance vanished instantly.
"No, I was just thinking that I was only able to hold my own against Qiu'er because she suppressed her soul power. If she had used her full strength, I would have lost long ago."
"So I feel like I need to work even harder..."
Hearing his sister's words, Dongfang Jing felt truly gratified by her growth.
He comforted him, saying, "Diligent practice is a good thing, but it shouldn't be excessive. You need to balance work and rest."
"Yes, Captain!"
The girl immediately hugged Dongfang Jing's arm, calling out affectionately in a sweet, coquettish voice.
Seeing this intimate scene, Wang Qiu'er felt a deep sense of envy and jealousy.
Did I perform really badly?
Why do you only praise Yao'er and not me?
Ah Jing is so biased!
...
Dongfang Jing patted his sister's shoulder, signaling her to let go of him.
The sparring has ended, and Dugu Bo has been waiting for a long time. It's time to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
However, just as he was about to step off the Soul Arena, a clear and resolute female voice rang out from behind him.
"Ah Jing, I challenge you to a one-on-one duel!"
Wang Qiu'er spoke up.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was instantly drawn to them.
The girls below the stage looked at each other in disbelief; they had just witnessed Wang Qiu'er's overwhelming strength.
Now she actually wants to challenge the captain?
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jing rolled his eyes.
Why do you act on such a whim?
He waved his hand, looking like he couldn't be bothered to pay attention.
"Besides, you can't beat me."
As the boy spoke, he was about to step off the fighting platform.
"No! You have to agree!"
Wang Qiu'er's tone became somewhat urgent. Her eyes darted around, and suddenly a brilliant idea flashed in her mind.
"Let's make a bet! Whoever wins gets to make the other do one thing unconditionally!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Jing stopped in his tracks.
Do something unconditionally?
He turned around and looked at Wang Qiu'er's pretty face, which was full of seriousness.
Thinking it over carefully, as the captain of the Purple Star Academy team, I really should show my strength to my teammates and set an example.
'If we win, what should Qiu'er do?'
'Should I make her change into an adorable dress and dance a super embarrassing dance in front of me?'
'Hey, this looks pretty good.'
The thought of seeing Qiu'er's embarrassed and angry yet helpless expression filled Dongfang Jing with anticipation.
then,
His face adopted a solemn yet somewhat reluctant expression.
"Alright, since you've put it that way, I'll reluctantly agree."
The two returned to their positions, each standing on one side of the arena.
While looking at Wang Qiu'er, who was full of fighting spirit, Dongfang Jing was thinking about something else.
Qiu'er's sudden challenge to a fight, and the bet she made, couldn't possibly be just because she was frustrated by not being able to settle things with Yao'er.
She definitely had ulterior motives.
As for the purpose...
'Sigh, if Qiu'er really wants me to do something, why doesn't she just say so?'
Dongfang Jing sighed inwardly.
As long as things aren't too outrageous, he's easy to talk to and will give serious consideration.
But since the decision has been made to decide the outcome through victory or defeat, Dongfang Jing has no intention of holding back.
"Qiu'er, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Let's finish this quickly."
He held up two fingers.
"Let's decide the winner within two moves."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiu'er adopted a fighting stance, her entire demeanor becoming serious.
She knew, of course, that Dongfang Jing was serious.
She said in a cool tone, "Use a couple of moves yourself."
"One move from me is enough."
